Summer is coming and while it’s still wet outside, things are heating up in our Chicago store. This coming month, we’ve got free workshops on everything from roleplay and strap-0n sex to orgasm and blowjobs. June comes to a big finish with the annual Pride Parade on June 30th. Drop by our shop and pick up some sexy skills you can use all summer long.

Wanna play doctor and patient? Or master and servant? Learn how to craft exciting and fun roleplay scenarios. We’ll cover the basics of safe, sane and consensual fantasy fulfillment, including negotiation, costumes, games, props and more.

This strap-on sex workshop is for anyone lesbian, queer, or dyke-identified. We’ll cover how to choose the best harness and dildo for you, enhancing satisfaction for both partners, double dildos, strap-on anal sex, owning your cock, queer gender expression, and sucking strap-on cock. A great class to learn the basics of dildo harnesses or pick up some new tips and tricks! FtM and MtF folks who love to (or want to learn how to) have great strap-on sex are welcome.

Get your laughs and lube in the same place. Join us for Performance Anxiety, a comedy night hosted by Caitlin Bergh and Rhea Butcher and featuring live performances by some of the best comics working today. As a bonus, all audience members get 15% off their purchases on the night of the show. Comics TBA.

Maybe you’ve never had one, maybe you have but you’re still not sure what all the fuss is about, or maybe you’re an orgasm overachiever with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Whatever your reason for taking this class, you’ll learn all about anatomy, techniques for coming with a partner or solo, how masturbation can help you expand your orgasm, G-Spot orgasms, anal orgasms, and, of course, our Sex Specialists’ favorite tips and toys.

Want to have him squirming in his seat? Our Sex Specialists will show you how to use your mouth, hands, and more to give mind-blowing blowjobs. We’ll cover male anatomy, tips and tricks, the truths and myths of “deep throat” plus other sexy secrets that are sure to have him begging for more.

It’s National Masturbation Month and we’re celebrating in all of the usual ways, with music, storytelling and prizes provided by We-Vibe. Though they’re famous for the groundbreaking couples’ toy, the folks at We-Vibe are also making amazing toys for solo play.

For example, check out the ingenious We-Vibe Thrill. It’s modeled after the original We-Vibe design, but optimized for play without a partner. Thrill fits snugly in the vagina, providing firm and focused G-Spot stimulation, while the outer part rests against the clitoris. Use the ergonomic handle to find the perfect position and the single button control to choose from 8 modes of deeply satisfying vibrations.

Thrill is 100% waterproof, so you can take it in the shower or bath. It charges via USB (that’s right, you can plug it into your laptop) and is fully charged in just 90 minutes. It doesn’t even look like a vibrator, so it makes a wonderfully stealthy travel toy. Finally, while Thrill is the ideal masturbation device, we can also imagine enjoying this toy with a friend. It leaves your hands free to roam yourself or your partner.

Have you heard? May is National Masturbation Month. Yes, you have an excuse (not that you needed one) to masturbate all month long.

Alternethas a great article on the unusual history of this celebration of self love, including some juicy anecdotes from the “Masturbate-a-thon” founded by Carol Queen.

In 2012, Carol’s favorite moment occurred at the “Greatest Distance Ejaculated” competition when challenger Punk Nine broke the record by shooting his semen 13 feet. He had practiced by ejaculating into the Pacific Ocean.

Impressive. This year, some horny folks in Phily are putting the fun back in fundraising with their own charitable Masturbate-a-thon. They’ve already raised $820 of their $3000.
